CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. , a provider of cybersecurity technology, and Deloitte, a professional services firm, have launched an enhanced strategic partnership with the aim of transforming cyber defense of corporations in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
The partnership was launched at Fal.Con Europe in Barcelona and combines the executive level governance and security operations in a holistic way. With the help of the next-gen SIEM technology and risk intelligence powered by artificial intelligence (AI) from CrowdStrike incorporated into Deloitte Spain’s advisory approach and MXDR operations, the companies offer a structured solution to modern cybersecurity challenges.
Connecting Executive Risk Prioritization Directly to Operational Security
There is a growing problem of the discrepancy between what is seen in the boardrooms and what happens in Security Operations Centers (SOCs). On one hand, executive management considers risks associated with cyberattacks in monetary terms, in terms of business continuity, and according to regulatory requirements. On the other hand, SOC specialists have to deal with an array of technical telemetry within the framework of point solutions. This often causes delayed response to threats and vulnerability gaps.

CrowdStrike-Deloitte Spain collaboration is designed to bridge this gap, providing a coordinated approach in three key areas of the cybersecurity cycle:
Advising (Identify and Prioritize Risks): Leverages the capabilities of CrowdStrike Falcon IQ for objective, quantitative visibility of exploitable security exposure. Deloitte includes technical insights in its Innovation Workshops aimed at helping the executive management turn telemetry into long-term roadmaps in accordance with regulatory requirements and business priorities.
Implementing (Modernize Security Operations): Enables a transition from costly, legacy security solutions to the unified Falcon platform, with migration to Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.
Operate (Deliver AI-Native Managed Security): Pairs CrowdStrike’s AI-driven detection engines with Deloitte’s managed security operations. The solution is orchestrated through Deloitte’s EMEA Cybersphere Center (ECC) in Madrid, providing 24/7 threat hunting, telemetry analysis, and rapid breach remediation at scale.
“Finding risk is only half the battle. What matters is how quickly you can act on it and evolve strategy for the future,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “Falcon IQ brings AI-powered risk intelligence into Deloitte‘s advisory engagements, connecting what matters in the boardroom with what needs to happen in the SOC. Together, we’re helping enterprises move from finding to fixing, turning security priorities into action and long-term winning strategies.”
“Cybersecurity has become a strategic business imperative, requiring organizations to connect risk management, technology, and business priorities,” said Edward James Moore, Cybersecurity Partner at Deloitte Spain. “Expanding our collaboration with CrowdStrike into risk advisory helps clients move beyond point solutions, combining strategic risk insight with AI-native technology to make informed security investments and carry those priorities through implementation and ongoing operations.”
Scaling Managed Cyber Defense Across EMEA
With the implementation of continuous monitoring at the EMEA Cybersphere Center in Madrid, Deloitte Spain provides organizations access to operational support from the region along with AI-based protection measures. This partnership addresses the issue of fragmented tools by enabling enterprises with visibility from the level of executive governance to SOC intervention.
